The U.S. based force 4fro Nick has released his latest EP, “Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix),” a two-track release that distills a life journey from Crete to New York and now Los Angeles into an emotionally driven indie rock. The project is the result of a childhood spent listening to street musicians in Crete and years of artistic growth, representing a musician who sees music as not only an expression but existence itself.
“Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)” is a bold yet introspective statement fusing indie rock, soul, and current pop. Emotive vocals and dramatic guitar textures frame lyrics focused on self-worth and the value of valuing time. The vibe is urgent and uplifting and makes for an outstanding addition to 4fro Nick’s burgeoning collection. Side B’s striking “Get There Before Noon (LA2 mix)” is a reminder to live in the present, encapsulating action, intention, and velocity in equal measure. The EP runs a trim 6 minutes and 25 seconds throughout both songs, a compact listening experience that blends reflection with forward propulsion. The tracks speak of two things, time and the here and now.
The EP boasts an impressive roster of contributors, including Grammy-winning keyboardist Leo Genovese on keyboards, famous drummer Johnny Radelat, and bassist George Athanas, whose rock-and-roll sensibilities underpin the sound. Their contributions provide a level of complexity to the project, reinforcing 4fro Nick’s concept of emotionally honest, high-impact indie rock.
“Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)” is a quintessential example of 4fro Nick’s growth as an artist who can turn real life into a tangible, palpable sound, uniting continents, memories, and today’s LA energy into an effortless, addictive EP experience that demands that we appreciate time as the most valuable currency.
